Emergency

Two Black college seniors set out on a legendary night of parties and come home to find an unconscious white girl on their floor. Afraid of what will happen if they call the police, they try to sort it out themselves. Carey Williams expanded his short into this feature, which premiered at Sundance.

It starts as a comedy and darkens as it goes, using the conventions of a night-out movie to show how fear of the police shapes every decision. It's funny, tense and pointed about what young Black men have to calculate.
